1 To the Class of 1947: I wish to congratulate you upon your graduation and wish for you many opportunities to use the knowledge that you gained at Elon College for your further development. I am grateful for the privilege of having worked with you for the past two years. Christina Hardy, Dean of Women. To those who are heincj graduated: Greetings! I have just returned from a long and circuitous journey, having visited ( in my mind ) the homes and daily haunts of those hundreds of men and women who entered Elon with you. Some of you entered in ' 43, and have pursued your goal without interruption; others entered in ' 38, ' 39, 40, leaving your academic efforts temporarily to answer the call of Uncle Sam. Many who came with you are far afield, some never to return; gold stars mark their names on our country ' s honor roll. Others came and left, convinced that much study is a weariness to the flesh. Fame and fortune, perhaps, have come to some of them, but each one sends you greetings on this Commencement Day. each of them wishes he were among you; each of them takes pride in your achievement. Those who have gone before you and those of us whom you leave to carry on — all join in saying Greetings. Congratulations to every one of you and best wishes to you all I D. J.

Lloii Ldaar Siuitli Administration To the Class of 1947: COLLEGE has afforded you opportunities for development and cultural advancement. You have had the privilege of associating with a group of choice young people. You have had the op- portunity of being under the instruction and guidance of learned men and women. They have served you well. The lines have fallen to you in helpful and pleasant places. Elon College, your Alma Mater, recognizes your achievements and places upon you the crown of scholarship. You now face the real test of life and of living. Social unrest, industrial dis- turbances, economic uncertainty, and racial ten- sions plague the society into which you sally forth. May the wisdom of God be your daily portion and His holy spirit guide you all the way. Leon Edgar Smith, President. 12
